About time to start roll call. Regent announced included first class air or $1,000 air credit so hopefully the group gets large.

Before everyone already booked starts contacting us on this special we have a TON of bookings for these cruises with this offer. The special is not combinable with some other offers. Pricing has gone up and you need to pay the current rate to get the special. All bookings can be different. So we are having to check every booking individually to determine if this offers any savings. We are working on it now. If there is any benefit or a decision to be made for existing bookings we will contact you.

TOTEM excursions opened this morning. Regent has really worked on their website; excursions were actually easy to book today; I think first time ever.

Marc, I had almost the opposite experience. The RSSC was so slow. I added excursions to "my cart" yesterday for most ports, today my cart was empty so had to start over. These are what we've booked (all free, and nothing very long, lots of time to relax since we've been to all these ports before). No dog sledding , helicopter, or bears as we've done in the past.

Air has opened for Vancouver; got FF tickets for just 13K per person. We are getting in night before and planning on staying at airport hotel. Considering post cruise plans in LA.

Has the Roll Call changed for TOTEM 2 - (Vancouver to Los Angeles on September 9, 2022 - October 3, 2022 ) after the first cancellation ??
We were just looking at flights but I'm afraid no one else is going 🙁 Who is still going ?

June and I are booked as well as the Howell's from NZ. We have had our air booked for some time. Keep in mind that hotel is included the night before.

No hotel on my invoice, but it's about a year old and I'm not in a concierge cabin or Penthouse.

Check with KLT. It does seem like it was a change a while back.

Peggy , I just did some research and found I had upgraded to a penthouse C and that benefit is included.

What hotel are people using if you arrive 1 day early in Vancouver ? (I apologize if this has already been covered).

We had a free IHG night so I booked the Holiday Inn Centre, 711 Broadway (& Heather). It's just for 1 night only pre-cruise.

They have onsite restaurant and lounge. We're just there one night but looks like lots of restaurants near by and not too far from the cruise port.

For any of you who enjoy oysters & shrimp, Chewies Steam & Oyster Bar on W. Hastings St is a block from the cruise terminal, Canada Place. They used to have a Buck and Shuck at happy hour. Excellent oysters and a nice view of the harbor.

DOC DANCING in TEXAS! cheer

Whenever I get notification from FedEx that a package is on its way from Omaha I know cruise docs will soon be in my hands. I was amazed today when I opened the package and it said "Welcome Aboard Seven Seas Mariner." I looked at the documents and sure enough they were for TOTEM in September!?!?!?

Never too soon to get documents! dance

Marc

PS There was a second set of documents in the package for our cruise next month. clap

dance Wow! That's amazing that you already got your September docs! Maybe Regent is reducing costs by only paying for one FedEx delivery! smiles wink

Uncertain about boarding time but the Boarding pass June and I have says the following.

Terminal Arrival Time: 11:30 AM

If you interpret this as the boarding time then I guess we are allowed to board at 11:30am.

Marcie, yes; look at rssc.com/voyage-health for all of the pre cruise requirements. You have to be tested within 48 hours of EMBARCATION if antigen test and 72 hours if PCR test. ArriveCan is easy; especially as no testing requirement for flying to Canada just boarding the ship.

There is a testing facility at the Fairmont Hotel 900 W Georgia St. which is were Regent is putting some people the night before boarding the ship.

A rapid antigen test is 20 minutes or less for about 100 ca dollars.

For those spending just one night in Vancouver, are you planning on completing ArriveCan just once (Mariner as destination) or twice (both hotel and Mariner as destinations)? If the latter, what are you planning on putting in as your quarantine plan? We will be at hotel only about 11 hours so hoping we only have to complete once.

We were just in SFO on our Oceania Regatta cruise. ( see comments in Oceania blog)
The terminal at Pier 27 requires you to wear a mask. And they are very strict about it.
So just as you are walking in put it on and just as you are walking out take it off. That is both going on or going off the ship.
Pier 39 is 1.6 mile walk to the right on Embarcadero Street. Flat, and wide sidewalk.

Completed ArriveCan. Put address as:

Other

Regent Seven Seas Mariner
Canada Place
Vancouver
V6C 3L5

I have receipt with my aircraft arrival time evening of 20 September. Now, all we have to do is pass the stupid drug test.

Originally this sailing was listed as a 30th Anniversary sailing. Now, no mention of 30th anniversary anywhere on rssc.com. What happened? Did they run out of coasters? Did people leave the coasters onboard? Did Regent decide not to celebrate 30th anniversary anymore beyond their supply of napkins?

See everyone soon!

Marc
